"There are two things that set us apart," Hardt tells GlobeSt.com. "One is location—it's a very central location. The other thing is that for service companies like us, it's a great place for our clients to come, and it's very easy for us to service clients because we can access all areas of the state and easily get into Midtown Manhattan, which is only 16 miles from here."
According to Hardt, L&L is committed to regularly upgrading the property. The owners last renovated the common areas in the buildings three years ago and plan to renovate the common areas in certain spaces in the coming months. The property also offers several amenities, including WiFi in the lobbies and the on-site cafeteria, a coffee bar and a fitness center. Park 80 may also be adding LEED certification to that list. According to Hardt, the property has been registered for LEED and is currently undergoing review. Future plans for greening the buildings are hazy, but future retrofits will utilize materials advocated by the US Green Building Council.
